What is your blood pressure?

I'm 36+1 And my bp has always been the high end of normal. I have a new midwife now and she says it's abit higher than they would like so they are going to monitor me more closely, especially due to my age. I'm 35-just.

My bp today is 140/88. She said it needs to be below 149/90. My urine sample was fine.

120/80 is normal? Mine can range from 110/64 to 133/77 and never has the midwife said anything otherwise? Don’t they usually worry if it’s over 140?? X

7 month old, second week

You may have already told your baby that the phone is not a toy, or that rattles are not for throwing, or that his sister's hair is not for pulling. However, your baby may now begin testing your authority by refusing to do as you say. Read More

Teething can start as early as three months or as late as 12 months, but most babies sprout their first teeth between four and seven months of age. Don't be alarmed if your baby has gaps between his pearly whites. Read More
